Skiers are being warned to ‘stay calm’ after footage emerged of what appears to be the mythical Yeti wandering around a Spanish ski resort.

The rather shaky footage shows what appears to be a strange ape-like creature with white fur stomping through the snow at the Formigal ski resort in north-eastern Spain, the Mirrorreports.

Incredibly the ski resort’s bosses have been forced to search the slopes of the Pyrenees mountain after the images sent the internet into a frenzy. But clued up viewers have said it’s just a man dressed in a fuzzy costume

The alert was sounded by a skier after posting a picture of the legendary beast on a popular website with the message: “Strange animal spotted in Formigal. What the hell is this?”

The picture went on to be retweeted thousands of times, and a sparked wild debate over whether a Spanish Yeti was on the loose or if it was a bear, computer effect or even a soldier dressed mountain camouflage.

The mystery remained unsolved over night, although skiers have been assured there was no cause for alarm.
